7 ways that slaves in the South Resisted Slavery
There are more ways of resisting slavery than just 7, and none of these are particularly unique to slavery in the South, or rather the South of the United States. Also this article as it now stands appears to focus on failure and lack of organization, not to mention seeming to divide the United States into "slaves" and "whites" Hackwrench 20:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC) Move to List of ways that slaves in the South Resisted Slavery Jonathan235 15:33, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with History of slavery in the United States if something worthy is there, delete otherwise. Grafikm_fr 20:36, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed, Merge with History of slavery in the United States. Personally, I can't find anything worth merging, but most of this stuff looks like it's true, so maybe there's something that the History article misses buried in here.--M @ r ē ino 20:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
